Q: "Give me a metaphor to describe Jim Mora and David Shaws relationship."
A: "Charlie Brown and Lucy. Every year, Lucy pulls out the football and Charlie never learns."
That made me laugh! Sadly for Mora, the metaphor isn't unfair to him. UCLA has a natural recruiting advantage in SoCal and boasts the 11th most talented roster in CFB, according to Scout.com (see http://www.scout.com/Season/2017-Footbal...tComposite). Yet they've lost 10 of their last 16 games.Â
Good thing UCLA put the golden handcuffs on Mora through 2021. If they dump him, they'll be on the hook for 80% of his salary for 3 more seasons (see http://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/la-sp...story.html). As a California State taxpayer, I would strongly object to this kind of irresponsible spending by a public institution! In my unbiased opinion, they just need to ride out the contract through 2021!
